Springfield Tech Council

Board of Directors

The commitment and vision of STC's Board of Directors continue to be instrumental to the progress of our organization and community.

Board of Directors

The Springfield Tech Council Board of Directors governs our organization and guides its strategic course. Board members represent a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and areas of expertise from across Springfield's technology community. However, they share a common purpose: to advance the mission of the Springfield Tech Council through visionary leadership.

The Board establishes policies, oversees finances and operations, and helps set priorities to increase the organization's impact over the long term. Board members also serve as ambassadors to promote the work of STC and build new partnerships. By bringing together representatives from private industry, public sector, education and the nonprofit arena, the STC Board shapes a future in which technology and innovation thrive in Springfield.
